On episode thirty-six of The Platform Podcast, our guest was our first female DJ to join the show, Marissa Sardar!
Marissa is originally from Florida where she attended school at University of Miami before making the move to Nashville 6 years ago. She tells the story of her journey into music and more specifically, how she got into DJing. From sneaking upstairs to practice on a pair of decks in the studio during breaks while she was an on air host, to playing venues all over the US in Miami, Nashville, Scottsdale and more, Marissa has made a name for herself as a DJ.
It hasn't always been easy. As a female in the DJ game, Marissa talks about the challenges she's had to deal with throughout her career.
Outside of DJing she shares some updates in her personal life with her recent engagement to one of the top producers and song writers in music right now, Charlie Handsome. We talked about how their relationship helps her as a DJ being able to bounce ideas off each other and talk music almost 75% of the time. Her answer may surprise you as much as it surprised me!
Marissa caps off the show by shining a spotlight on two dope Nashville DJs, Rate and Rod Youree so be sure to go check them out with the links below!
